MAY 12TH STAMP OUT HUNGER-The USPS carriers will be providing food collection bags in your mail box the week of May 7th. This is an easy way to donate food to our food bank. Simply place your food donations into your mailbox on May 12th and your postal carrier will collect the donations and bring them back to the post office. Food Bank volunteers are scheduled to pick up all the generous donations Monday May 15th. Last year we had a record-breaking year and collected 3,200 pounds of food. We would like to break that record this year. On average, we serve 380-390 families every week of the year and distribute around 17,000 pounds of food each week. Help us Stamp out Hunger in the Snoqualmie Valley and consider supporting this food drive.
CROP Hunger Walks are community-wide events sponsored
by Church World Service and organized by religious groups,
businesses, schools and others to raise funds to end hunger
at home and around the world.
The Snoqualmie Valley Crop Walk is a flat 1 mile or 3 mile
walk through historic Snoqualmie. Mt Si Food Bank will
receive 25% of all proceeds. Sign up here today!

Dear Friends of the Food Bank,
Here at Mt. Si Food Bank we have worked hard to address the hunger needs of residents in our Snoqualmie Valley. For most businesses a year of growth would bring good news, however, for the food bank that means more of our neighbors are facing food insecurity.
In 2011 we experienced a 7% increase over 2010 for households needing our service. Our senior population grew by 14% and we served approximately 300 children each week. Overall, we provided food to 46,519 individuals. We continue to focus on providing the most healthy and nutritious food options. We’re proud to have distributed approximately 780,000 pounds of food that included fresh dairy and produce.
